This is a coding challenge. To complete the challenge, submit a pull request from a fork of this repository which satisfies all open issues.
Once you have cloned the repository, simply run ./gradlew run to start the web service.
The service is exposed at http://localhost:4567.
The default username is admin, with the password admin. To log in, post a JSON doc
with the following shape to the /login/ route.
{
"userName": "someUser",
"password": "somePassword"
}
The server will respond with a 200 status code and a 64-character authorization token. If the server responds with a non-200 status code, your login credentials are either invalid or malformed.
Messages are contained in threads. To receive a list of the current thread titles and
IDs, perform a GET against the path /threads/. The server will respond with a JSON
array of objects containing the title and ID of all current threads, or an empty array if
there are no current threads.
To list all messages in a thread, perform a GET against the path /threads/:threadId,
replacing threadId with a valid thread. E.g., http://localhost:4567/threads/5.
To create a new message, POST a JSON document to the path /threads/.
{
"threadId": 6,
"text": "This is my message"
}
Note that threadId may be omitted, in which case a new thread will be created.
You must be authorized to post a new message. Include your 64-character auth token in
the request header X-WEX-AuthToken. Omitting this header or supplying an invalid auth
token will result in a 403 status.
There are three open tickets. One is a bug, and two are new features that should be implemented. Make the code changes necessary to properly resolve these issues, following these practices:
- Each issue should be solved in a separate git commit. The issue number should be noted in the commit message.
- Any changes made to classes in the
servicesorrepositoriespackages should also have new JUnit tests added to validate their results. - Once all three issues are resolved, push your changes to github and submit a pull request.
